I think they started adding RISC-V back into 2019 to the       compiler I use for Mystic, so assuming its in a usable state I don't see why       not.              I do think there is little benefit of RISC-V for a BBS system over existing       ARM/Intel. The thing it has going for it is energy efficiency which is great       for embedded devices, things that run off of batteries, etc.              But if I am not mistaken it can't hang with Intel in terms of the number of       CPU cycles it takes to do things, which means it'll always be better to grab a       non-RISC device over RISC for a BBS anyway.              ...
